The game began with active actions by the guests as early as the 2nd minute, when the Poltava midfielder Yepuryanu shot at Shust's goal from medium distance. \n \n"Karpaty" responded with a cross from Suchkov from the left flank, but the "Vorskla" defenders were in place and eliminated the danger near their own goal. In the first half of the first half, the teams exchanged mutual mistakes and the ball often passed from one team to the other. \n \nIn the 15th minute, after a successful pass from the right flank, Suchkov made Lviv fans hold their heads, as after his shot the ball flew just a few centimeters from the crossbar of Dolhanskyi's goal. After this moment, the Lviv team noticeably became more active and a number of dangerous moments arose, which led to a goal in the 26th minute, when Samson Godwin intercepted the ball in the center of the field and passed to Suchkov, and it was after his cross from the left flank that Karpaty's legionnaire Batista scored a header, 1:0. Two minutes later Khudobyak tested his luck, but after his shot the ball went past the goalpost. Then the match proceeded in positional struggle between both teams, but no dangerous moments arose near either team's goal. The first half ended with a minimal advantage for the hosts. \n \nAfter the break, the teams mostly engaged in positional struggle in the center of the field, exchanging fouls. After one of their attacks, the "Vorskla" players created a dangerous moment near Shust's goal: from about twenty meters Yarmash hit the crossbar. As it would turn out later, this was one of the most realistic chances for the guests to equalize. And just a few minutes later, "Karpaty" earned a dangerous free kick, but the ball flew over the goal. Realizing that nothing was working for the Poltava team in attack, Viktor Nosov made two substitutions in the 66th and 76th minutes. Popov and Rebenok appeared on the field. However, this did not bring a positive result for Vorskla; the teams exchanged shots on goal: Godwin for Karpaty and Glavina and Yepuryanu for the guests missed. Thus, the Lviv team achieved a minimal 1:0 victory and advanced to the 1/2 finals of the Ukrainian Cup. It is worth noting that "Vorskla" is already the third Top League team that "Karpaty" have stopped in this season's Cup competition; the predecessors were "Chornomorets" and "Shakhtar".
